This is our third visit to Helena. As always, the food was spectacular, and the service was top-notch. Two of the four of us are coeliac and they always handle our allergy with seriousness. We will definitely be back.

une de nous a pris la morue noire. Malheureusement, la morue était trop cuite, avait des arêtes et peu de goût. Cette cliente fait de meilleure plat de morue à la maison. Les autres convives étaient plutôt satisfaits.
